                    xf86-input-vmmouse ports in x11/xorg

          Severity: Affects Many People
          Priority: ---
         Component: Individual Port(s)

The xf86-video-vmware- and xf86-input-vmmouse packages / ports enable VMware
users to automatically have a functional desktop when installing the xorg
package.

The xf86-video-vmware driver is one of the hardcoded Xserver drivers that are
tried at Xserver start, and it backs off if not run on a VMware platform.

Autodetection support for vmmouse+devd has just been filed as a bug. Meanwhile
there should be no harm in including it in the Xorg port.

Thanks,

Thomas Hellström
